Does anyone see/fish muskie in the Beloit/Rockton stretch of the Rock river? I know you can find them as far as Janesville because of stocking in Lake Koshkonong, but I am wondering just how far they'll go. I have also read that they may have access via the Pecatonica. Or perhaps someone knows if they are stocked directly to the river in that relative area? I'm not looking for spots, lure suggestions or tactics etc, I just want to know if they exist that far down. It's 81 days till muskie season opens back up in WI and I just want to cast a few to get my fix. I know chances are slim this time of year even if they are there, but I don't want to be out there looking like a total goon casting at nothin'. PM me if you'd rather. Thanks in advance.

I was out this past Saturday and boy did I get a surprise. While bouncing a jig and 3-inch Gulp Minnow I caught a 8ish pound carp. It was a fun fight on 6 pound test, but a bit disappointing end result as I was hoping for a channel cat, walleye, or smallie. I never have caught or witnessed anyone catch a carp with a minnow or plastic minnow.

ATTN: all gates on the race are closed and water below spillway is up and moving fast. I'd avoid a trip here. I put in a call to the gentleman that manages the gates. I will re post once Ive spoken with him and can get a timeframe on the gates opening back up
